Fresher, smoother-looking skin and recovery support, the classic red-plus-infrared pair in one handheld.
Fresher, smoother, younger-looking skin on face, neck and hands.
Recovery support after workouts, long days and hard work. Near-infrared reaches farther in than visible light.
Relaxing warmth. You see the 660 nm red; you mostly feel the 850 nm as gentle warmth.
Everyday energy after hours indoors.
Evening-friendly. Warm red, no blue.
Strong and quick. 300 mW/cm² up close, still 50 at 14 inches.
Hold it or set it. In your hand on the included cord, or in any standard E26/E27 lamp.
Why it fits bioenergetic living. Indoor light misses the warm end of daylight. The LGS17 gives you red and near-infrared, both studied for cellular energy at cytochrome c oxidase, with no blue.
Only deep red? See the LGS7. Want orange too? The LGS11.
Three-year warranty on the light, one year on the cord and accessories. 60-day no hassle returns.

LGS17
6 1/2 Foot Custom Power Cord Wrapped In Thick Fabric
How to start: Hold it 4–6 inches from the skin for 10–20 seconds per spot, three to five times a week. It's strong up close, so a little goes a long way.
Raising slowly: After a week or two, add a few seconds per spot. More isn't automatically better. Moving back gives a wider, lighter dose (see Light Density).
If it feels like too much: If your skin gets too warm or flushed, or you feel wired after a late session, move back, shorten the time, or skip a day.
Practical notes: You won't see the 850 nm infrared, so let warmth, not brightness, be your guide. Close your eyes when you use it on your face, and don't look into the LEDs. Keep it dry, and don't cover it while it's on.

660 nm red, 50%
850 nm near-infrared, 50%
No blue. Draws 14.8 watts. Worldwide voltage.
300 mW/cm² at 0 inches
100 mW/cm² at 7 inches
50 mW/cm² at 14 inches
25 mW/cm² at 22 inches
10 mW/cm² at 34 inches
Closer is stronger. Farther is a wider, lighter dose. The light draws 14.8 watts.
How close do I hold it? Start at 4–6 inches. The Light Density tab shows the rest.
How long? 10–20 seconds a spot, three to five times a week. Build slowly, and back off if it feels too warm.
Why red and infrared together? Red works at the skin you can see, and near-infrared reaches farther in. A half-and-half split covers both.
Why can't I see all of it? 850 nm is near-infrared, beyond what the eye can see, but it's on whenever the light is on.
Which plug? US/Canada/Mexico, Europe, UK, or Australia. The light takes worldwide voltage.
Panel or handheld? This is a spot light. For more coverage at once, look at a pod or panel.
Red (660 nm) and near-infrared (850 nm) light are studied for skin appearance, exercise recovery, cellular energy and how deep light reaches.
Fresher, smoother-looking skin
Red plus infrared, split-face trialLee et al. (2007). Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B, 88(1), 51–67.PMID 17566756. 76 adults had half the face lit with red, near-infrared, both, or sham. Lit sides showed smoother-looking skin and better elasticity readings.
Red and red-to-infrared lightWunsch & Matuschka (2014). Photomedicine and Laser Surgery, 32(2), 93–100.PMID 24286286. Twice-weekly sessions (including 570–850 nm) improved complexion, skin feel and collagen density versus controls.
Recovery support
Red and infrared around exerciseLeal-Junior et al. (2015). Lasers in Medical Science, 30(2), 925–939.PMID 24249354. A meta-analysis found better performance and better markers of exercise recovery than placebo.
Why infrared reaches farther
Longer wavelengths go deeperAsh et al. (2017). Lasers in Medical Science, 32(8), 1909–1918.PMID 28900751. Penetration depth rises with wavelength, the reason 850 nm reaches farther in than visible red.
Everyday energy (cellular energy)
850 nm on the human forearmPruitt et al. (2022). Metabolites, 12(2), 103.PMID 35208178. 850 nm light raised oxidized cytochrome c oxidase, a marker of cellular energy activity.
The red and infrared bandsKaru & Kolyakov (2005). Photomedicine and Laser Surgery, 23(4), 355–361.PMID 16144476. Cell action spectra peak in bands near 668–684 and 813–846 nm, close to the LGS17's 660 and 850.
Bioenergetic & low-toxin perspective
Ray Peat wrote often about red light and cellular energy.
"Red and orange wavelengths penetrate tissue very effectively, because of their weaker absorption by water, allowing them to react with pigments in the cell, such as cytochrome oxidase, which is activated (or re-activated) by red light, increasing the production of ATP." — Ray Peat, "Cataracts: water, energy, light, and aging" (https://raypeat.com/articles/articles/cataracts-water-energy-light-aging.shtml)
"By the 1960s, several studies had been published showing the inhibition of respiratory enzymes by blue light, and their activation by red light." — Ray Peat, "Aging Eyes, Infant Eyes, and Excitable Tissues" (https://raypeat.com/articles/articles/aging-eyes.shtml)
A study Peat cited in "Aging Eyes, Infant Eyes, and Excitable Tissues":
Chen E (1993). Inhibition of cytochrome oxidase and blue-light damage in rat retina. Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol 231(7):416-23. PMID 8406068. Blue light slowed cytochrome oxidase, the same enzyme red light supports. One reason the LGS17 has no blue.
Note: These papers study wavelengths and mechanisms, not this exact light. Individual experiences vary. This information is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
This isn't a medical device, and it isn't meant for any medical condition.
Do not look straight into the light. Don't use it on broken skin, or on skin that's already hot or burned.
Stop if a spot gets uncomfortably warm.
Keep it away from water and out of reach of children. Unplug it when you're done.
Near-infrared is invisible, so the light is stronger than it looks.
Check with your healthcare provider before use if you're pregnant, sensitive to light, or take medication that makes you sensitive to light.
